Gainsborough Trinity 1-4 Worksop Town 

Top Tigers Thrash Trinity

Worksop continued their unbeaten form into 2018 by beating bottom side Gainsborough Trinity

Town started the brighter with two early chances. Beaumont picked out Josh Carpenter in the box and floated a cross into the Striker but Carpenter headed his effort across the face of goal. Shortly after, Kieran Larder played a one-two with Liam Pritchard before flashing a dangerous low cross across goal but despite Holden’s late run, he couldn’t arrive in time to net the opener.

Worksop opened the scoring after 20 minutes through Josh Carpenter. Alex Boyd headed Holden’s corner into the air, as the ball dropped Carpenter pounced onto the free ball and poked the ball into the net.

Harry Dunbar replaced Liam Pritchard at halftime and the 6ft 4” striker made instant impact as four minutes after the restart he doubled the lead. Dan Gardner sent a long diagonal ball to Niall Blakemore who brought the ball down perfectly and laid the ball off to the edge of the box where Dunbar curled it beautifully into the top right corner.

A minute later the lead was trebled when Luke Smith split open the Gainsborough backline with a pass. Igor Mlynarski latched onto the pass and advanced towards goal. Igor was tackled by Joe Hayden however the momentum the Tigers winger had going into the challenge meant the ball went into the air and over the keeper. Both Mlynarski and Dunbar were recently both called up to the first team.

Lewis Szanto scored in the reverse fixture at Sandy Lane, where the Tigers came from behind to win 3-2, and he almost netted again when he spun Gardner and shot towards goal but Jake Woodward got down quickly and held onto the shot.

Trinity pulled a goal back just before the hour mark when Ben Bool beat keeper Jake Woodward to a Callum Jarvis deep cross and headed into an empty net.


Luke Smith scored a wonder goal in the Tigers previous fixture against Retford United and he almost replicated that by rifling a shot from 30 yards towards goal. Unfortunately for Smith, his shot went inches wide of the wrong side of the post.

Mlynarski put the game to bed spectacularly in the dying moments. Mitchell Batty gave the ball to Mlynarski, Igor cut inside an hit an amazing 30 yard screamer into the net giving the keeper no chance.

This takes Jay and Lee’s unbeaten tally to eight games now as the Tigers are sitting comfortably at the top of the table. Their next fixture is away on Thursday 11th of January where they face Swallownest FC.
